The final round of the 18th round from the evening of June 10 to early morning of June 11 is about to begin, and the suspense is still being revealed. Currently, the competition between Oman and Palestine in Group B is the focus, and the two teams will compete for the last chance to the playoffs.

After nine rounds of fierce competition, South Korea and Jordan have advanced to next year's US, Canada and Mexico World Cup. At this stage, Oman has 10 points, while Palestine follows closely with 9 points. The two teams will face off directly in the last round, so there must be one team that cannot surpass Iraq, which leads with points. Iraq's current score is 12 points, basically locking in the playoff qualification.

It can be seen that Palestine's direct confrontation with Oman at home will be the key to determining who will get the ticket to the playoffs in the next stage. Although Palestine is 1 point behind Oman, with their home advantage, they can reverse the situation and advance to the AFC play-offs by winning the game.

It is worth noting that this team, which ranked only 101 in the world, showed a tenacious fighting spirit in this round of 18, and achieved a record of 2 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. Two of the draws were very valuable, namely, drew with strong opponents South Korea at home and tied the opponent away. Even the top Asian star Son Heung-min is quite troubled by the Palestine defense.

In the recent game, Palestine recovered in its form, defeating Iraq and Kuwait one after another, allowing them to climb to fifth place in Group B, only 1 point behind Oman. If Palestine can continue to maintain good shape, it will not only have a chance to win three consecutive victories, but it will also be possible to make a counterattack and advance into the playoffs. For this country with war, the brave struggle in this round of 18 matches just contrasts the ashamedness of the Chinese men's football team who has been eliminated early, and also gives everyone a revelation worth pondering.
